You’re going off of a sample size of 36 shots with Brooks. That’s not even close to a sample size high enough to call his shooting “futile.” Add in Beilein’s track record with freshman-sophomore year PG jumps and writing him off is just premature.

gotta love it. those two in combo with our 18 kids has me stoked. I really hope we end up with one or two more spots to fill in 19. I’m feeling our momentum and targets. Two top ten classes back to back with kids who will be there 3-4 years plus the Beilein touch and we could have two more final fours in our future.

I believe that beilein will open up the rotation more next year than the past season, and more so in 19.

X will return with a better jumper, Brooks hopefully gets his confidence back and can contribute solid minutes at 1 and 2. DD needs to learn the offense, which is not given. but he could see minutes in a role as an off-guard, like how Walton played as a freshman
